Random comment on the CSNPhilly article on Coots
It was in reply to another guy criticizing Panotch for comparing all our rookies to Richards
I don’t know how you can say that Schenn is good defensivly…….have you seen his plus-minus ? Do you actually WATCH him play ?
Sigh…
Simon Gagne AND Mike Richards may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home but, at the end of the day, they will both always be Philadelphia Flyers.
One day Sean Couturier will win the Conn Smythe. You heard it here first.

haha, what’s crazy is that the guy has a point. Schenn’s defense, while good, is worse than Couturier’s and Giroux’s (but better than Briere. Yes, that’s a large, large gap). But I love the “WATCH him play. Plus/Minus.”

not to argue plus minus but for those who do….
Schenn’s 1st 4 game stint with the Flyers plus/minus -5
Schenn’s 2nd 4 game stint plus/minus -3
Schenn’s most recent 8 games plus/minus +2
BOTTOMLINE: His overall plus/minus is being driven by his early -5 in 4 games and he is a victim of small sample size.
And for those you look at plus/minus and think Richards a defensive stud Richards is only a +47 in 7 year career or average of less than +7 each year.
Nodl 12G 127GP, Talbot 10G 44GP
And for those you look at plus/minus and think Richards a defensive stud Richards is only a +47 in 7 year career or average of less than +7 each year.
Which should be enough to prove the fallibility of Plus/Minus.
Thank you, Chris :)

Geoff, Quick Question
Hey Geoff, I’m a bit of an outsider, though I read this blog daily and I’m a huge Flyers fan. I was just curious, on the point about Elliot’s new contract, why did you write
Uhh, okay. Sure.
Do you think it’s a stupid contract, or something? I knew there’s that risk and likelihood that he will regress to the mean, but it’s not like 1.8 million for that guy is breaking the bank. Not extending him seems like something few would do, since decent goaltending is hard to come by. If they hadn’t given him that, I’m sure someone else would have.
I’m really just curious as to what your thoughts on it are, since it was hard to tell my the vagueness at the end.
Remember all the stories about how Sergei Bobrovsky is the highest paid backup goalie in the league? Brian Elliott is now the highest paid backup in the league after going on a very Leighton-esque run.
The Driving Play article explains my skepticism about Brian Elliott in general, but the Blues aren’t the Flyers. Burying $1.8 million on a guy they thought was a backup is not the same as the Flyers burying $1.6 million on a guy they thought was a starter.

The Blues were playing great hockey before Hitchcock. I’d love to see the splits for Elliott and Halak before and after, because the “Hitchcock got the Blues winning” is false. The goalies, however, I’m open to believing.

Halak was playing poorly at the beginning of the year. That’s how Elliott was able to wrestle the starting job away from Halak (I’ll take a look at the stats to confirm)
"Start playing with some jam in here"

Pre-Nov 7th Halak was 1-6 with a 3.58 GAA per 60 mins and a 85.6 SV%
After Hitchcock he’s 11-1-5 with 3 shutouts.

It would be interesting to see some of the advanced possession stats at the time of the coaching change, as a contrast to Minnesota. Could you just as confidently predict a turn for the better once the goalie straightened himself out. I saw the Blues play three games before the coaching change, including against us, and I thought they were a very competitive team.

The Blues were one of the teams called out by Vollman after ~20 games as bound to improve (or Great Team, Bad Luck) based on Corsi Close.
being obnoxious and self righteous while ignoring the point since 9/29/11
Note the following quote from the linked article:
Ken Hitchcock is lucky enough to step into an otherwise highly successful team, and will no doubt accept a lot of credit for the playoff berth when the Blues’ fortunes inevitably changes.
That was written on November 15th.
being obnoxious and self righteous while ignoring the point since 9/29/11
Shot ratio has been great all year. Goal ratio too, for that matter.
Of their eight losses in those first 17 games, six were by one goal once you remove empty netters. Sounds like they just suffered bad luck in how their goals got distributed game-to-game.

I think Bobrovsky should count, since they call him “Bob” in the locker room. If a guy named “Demond” can go by Bob, and count as a sports-playing Bob, why can’t Sergei? Why can’t us?
I heart our rookies.
"Who's more crazy? Who's more...weird?"
Agree.
Bob is, for most people, a nickname.
If you’re talking people with the actual given name “Bob,” I’m sure the number is much smaller.
Ecstatic to be joing the Florida Panthers Organization!! Awesome day... Truly a dream come true.
- @ScottieUpshall (July 1, 2011 2:15pm EST)
I dunno.
While it’s not his given name, people write “Bob Sanders”. Nobody would write the Flyers roster down with “Bob Bobrovsky” as the goaltender — at best, it might be “Sergei ‘Bob’ Bobrovsky”. That seems like a legitimate difference.
OTOH, the article says they’re using the name the person primarily goes by. Does Bob go by Bob more than Sergei? I dunno.

The article on Bryz is pretty good. I have confidence that he’ll get “back to normal” sooner than later, even if I had my money on Bob being the future. The funny/sad thing is, if Bryz somehow puts it together and has a Vezina-worthy second half of the season (wishful thinking), a lot of people would forget his first half struggles.
At the beginning of the season, the one thing that really stood out to me about Bryz, was how he always seemed to be getting square to the puck. When the shots came, he barely even needed to move, and with someone his size, that creates real problems for the shooter. Unfortunately, his focus seemed to waiver and if one soft goal went in, the floodgates opened. But, as players and coaches have said, he just needs to keep playing to get on a roll.
Up until the Caps game to start the season, Bryz looked “as advertised” and the confidence seemed to be oozing out of him. Hopefully, he starts against the Isles tonight, posts another win, and starts to have his confidence come back

Voracek is developing nicely, and he is one of the faster skaters out there. He definitely hasn’t reached his full potential yet, and if/when he does, he could be a real scary threat for the opposition with his speed and finesse.

From the Jagr/V article…
Peter Laviolette could opt to leave Jody Shelley, who was very noticeable in his first game since Dec. 23, in the lineup.
Was he? I guess if we’re going to get into semantics he was “noticeable”. Hard not to notice him lumbering around.
Also, did we go all Habs on them and throw sand down outside of the visitor’s locker room? The Mild were Hartnelling like it was going out of style.

Yesterday I stumbled upon a radio station called “Bob FM” and of course I thought of Bob and now there’s a whole article about players named Bob… oh wow
www.southpawcurve.blogspot.com - check out my baseball blog!!
There was a BOB FM in Eugene, Oregon that I listened to on occasion (“Turn your knob to Bob for 80’s, 90’s, whatever!”).
But I’m surprised upon googling Bob FM to see how many there are. Healdsburg, Austin, Chico, Pittsburgh, Chesapeake, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Minneapolis…
@BSH_EricT
Writer at Broad Street Hockey
They are all the same format. Basically in radio, if you have a format change that works the company will mimic it in several markets. Bob FM is usually a programmed station in that they have very few live voices if any (weather reports, etc) but the rest is taped in advance.

“We’ll get it if we have to sell ourselves,” said a woman outside the courtroom who identified herself as a relative.
Nice, then we can add prostitution to the list! Get the whole family involved!
But defense attorney Michael DeFino maintained that Veteri, a father of three, has no history of failure to appear in court.Sure, sounds like a great guy. He’s very punctual every time he’s appeared in court for assault and drug possession charges. And he loves his kids, who I’m sure have been raised as model citizens.
“He is not a flight risk,” DeFino said. He said Veteri is “basically a good person who has struggled with addictions in his life.”

It’s funny that to me his wording sounds like the porn and gambling sites are actively attacking him, and he wants Congress to protect him from that threat.
That’s pretty much exactly how I took it as well. It’s like when he sits down and goes to google something but it randomly takes him silvertonguedlesbiansofhardcore.com(I have no idea if this is a real site and if by chance it is I swear it’s purely by coincidence.)
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
My bet: he wanted sporting goods and tried going to dicks.com. (DO NOT DO THIS!)
Or he wanted to write to President Obama and tried whitehouse.[anything-that’s-not-gov].

I had a substitute in history in high school who famously went to whitehouse.com…while using a projector and leading a class discussion.
Many minutes of hilarity ensued.

I would stand up and proceed to slow-clap for the blunder.

Maybe the temptation is too large and he wants to be rescued from it?
Isn’t that most of the Evangelical Christian philosophy? “I sin because I can. Then I must beg and tithe for God’s forgiveness.” I’m paraphrasing, but …

I wonder if he’s the sort that pays for those ridiculous “PC cleaning/optimization” services you see on TV. “My computer is at least 200% faster! Wow!”
Or the “free” websites that give you “credit scores” from all three government credit reporting bureaus RIGHT NOW for “free”!

yeah i fell for that credit score one but got it mixed up with another website and ended up with three different penis sizes.

I don’t need to increase my speed. My wife already complains that I’m too fast.
Wait, what?

Jon Stewart is amazing...
Figured this may fit better over here.
The Daily Show burns the Bruins.

Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure this is a (well-made!) montage of Daily Show clips and hockey clips, with stills from the hockey clips pasted over top of whatever still was in the upper-left of the original Daily Show clip. Stewart doesn’t actually say anything directly referring to the content of the clips. Interesting.

It is. I was giving Chem the benefit of the doubt that she knew better, but she may not have.
So whoever made this is amazing, Jon Stewart’s general brand of show just fit it perfectly.

Oh yeah, it’s fantastic. I was at least halfway through before I started to suspect anything.

It was Miller saying “shit” and Stewart being bleeped that caught my attention. :-p

“It took longer to play the clip than to find it” was the one that caught me. I don’t watch a ton of Daily Show episodes, but I do on occasion, and I remember that one (not the content though, just that it most definitely was not hockey).

Also note the continually changing wardrobe. :-p
